It’s time to discuss more big NHL and hockey topics on The Hockey News Big Show.

Here’s what Katie Gaus, Ryan Kennedy and Michael Traikos discussed in this episode:

0:54: Reacting to the Utah Mammoth signing forward Logan Cooley to an eight-year contract extension at $10 million annually

6:25: With the NHL Frozen Frenzy taking place Tuesday, what matchup stood out to you the most and why?

10:04 Of all the East-West matchups we saw last night, which one could possibly be a Stanley Cup final?

13:56: The Edmonton Oilers got one of their best wins of the season and some much-needed scoring in their 6-3 victory over the red-hot Mammoth. Could this game serve as a turning point for what's been a pretty slow start to the Oilers' season?

17:30: Connor Bedard scored his first-career hat trick with the Blackhawks. Are we seeing something different from the Blackhawks so far this season that suggests their rebuild is taking some positive steps forward?

19:20: With a strong personal start to this season for Bedard, what does it mean to him?

22:51: Dallas got a big deal done, signing Thomas Harley to an eight-year contract extension at $10.5 million annually. Thoughts on the deal?

27:29: With the rising salary cap, will we see more players sign larger contracts than the top players on the team?

32:17: The Utah Mammoth’s hot start has them in the conversation of upgrading before the trade deadline. We've heard the rumors of Montreal looking for a center, and Carolina is always looking to add a star after their last few attempts fell short. Which teams do you have your eye on, and what should they be looking for?

32:17: Yes or No: Cole Caufield has played himself onto Team USA for the Olympics? If yes, who is he bumping out?

36:09: Which pending free agent for this summer has had the most impressive start to the season: Nick Schmaltz, Adrian Kempe, Shane Pinto or Evgeni Malkin?

38:20: John Tavares is still sitting at 499 goals. Does he get 500 tonight versus Columbus?

40:55: Who's to blame for the Leafs' middling start: the GM, the coach or the new guys?

44:11: Who will win Game 5 between the Blues Jays and Dodgers?
